The Hunter's Alaska

The Hunter's Alaska

What's the best knife to use when you gut a moose? What color is a brown bear? Why is the Alaskan goat the most challenging hunting target? When is a grizzly not a grizzly?

The Hunter's Alaska has the surprising answers to these and many more questions. If you hope toâ€”or dream ofâ€”hunting in Alaska, you will learn exactly how it is done and what it feels like to live and hunt in the Alaskan wilderness. You will smell the stink of the sheep, taste the crystal water of Morningstar Creek and feel the pull of tundra vines across your instep.

Part adventure story, part hunter's how-to reference and part history lesson, this is a personal book by a man whose Alaskan travels span half a centuryâ€”an author/hunter who does not pull punches or gloss over, a writer who has been there and done all that he describes.

The Hunter's Alaska contains 200 photographs, taken over decades. Little of this information has been conveniently assembled elsewhere.

Roy Chandler (most call him Rocky because he lived on Alcatraz Island as a youth) brings a lifetime of experience to the book. After running an army sniper's school, Chandler first visited Alaska as a Master Sergeant where he tested army Arctic survival weapons and gear. He returned for a second stay as the Principal of Birch School in Fairbanks and has been back to hunt many times over the following years.

Out of print for a decade, this classic is once again available.
